Amid the usual slew of cash-ins, here is a Christmas album that does what a Christmas record should: make you feel as warm and comforted as the post-dinner mince pies. As with 2008's Sweet Bells, Penistone folkie Rusby draws on the tradition of carol singing in South Yorkshire public houses, even unearthing centuries-old tunes in Diadem and Holmfirth Anthem. Delivered in an accent as South Yorks as Barnsley Bitter, opener Cranbrook finds her singing While Shepherds Watched to the tune of On Ilkla Moor Baht 'At. Rusby's own compositions – especially the sublime Home – crystallise that festive feeling with lyrics about bells, snow and angels. Whether acoustic guitar or brass, the instrumentation is minimal: her Little Town of Bethlehem is particularly still and magical. Rocking Carol, once given a bonkers electronic treatment by New Order, is warmly rendered with horns and euphonium. You won't play it in June, but this is lovely festive fare.
